#1 and #2 is correct, right? What about the others? Can we use 'in' instead of 'on'? What about other verbs? Are they acceptable?

1 and 2 are both correct, yes.
4 is a possibility.

I wouldn't use any of the others, though.
In 3, the preposition "in" is incorrect.
in 5, it reads as if the 90 points were a gift!
